Grit, petroleum vapors, and asphalt dominate the senses, erasing all impression of surrounding forest and mountains. Raindrops bounce off the windshield even though heat pervades the atmosphere. Figures interact in pantomime within the windowed walls of the diner in front of you. A waitress in traditional garb carries a ubiquitous coffee carafe and circulates amongst scattered patrons. She smiles broadly at somebody's comment. Traffic hurtles down the neighboring Interstate. No one takes the ramp into this isolated hamlet which exists only to fuel, feed, and lodge long-distance motorists. A woman materializes out of nowhere. Blonde hair shines in the moonlight while rain soaks her skin. Far from the pulsing hubs of society she navigates over loose gravel in high heels, stepping into artificial incandescence as soon as she enters the restaurant. You follow her inside. Halfway to nowhere at 3:11am you wonder if you should invite her to join you. The impulse vanishes into a graveyard which contains so many other spontaneous notions. In the end, as you both converge on the cash register, you insist on paying for her meal. The beguiling stranger looks startled and then thanks you politely. Together you trudge to the red-roofed motel across the parking lot. She says goodnight. In the late hours of the same morning you discover that someone has slid a DVD beneath your door. Days pass before you can view its contents. Erotic euphoria soon collides with wistful certainty that you will never, ever see the errant traveler in person again..
